Word Can Tell You How Good Your Writing Is

On a Mac you can reach this window by navigating to Word > Preferences > Spelling & Grammar. Now, whenever you check spelling on a particular highlighted text, a pop-up box will also show you scored for readability. This will ensure you are producing the best documents possible!

Add a Calculator to Word

For all those out there that multi-task their writing documents with their mathematic calculations, this tip is for you! Get rid of that calculator and hop back on to Word. On a PC go to File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar and switch to All Commands and click on Calculate Command to add the Quick Access Toolbar. After you save, you will see a grey circle at the top of your Word window. Now, simply highlight the equation you typed into Word and click on the circle. The answer to your calculation will appear at the bottom of your window. This does not seem to be available on Mac
